T0 all wir-0m it may concern:

Be it known filmt I, JOHANN JACOB HER- MANN SOHULCLZ, a subjectof Ehe Emperofof Germany, aud a resident of Hamburg, in the Gern1an Empirghave invented cert-ain new und useful Improvements in Machines for Corking Bottles, of whicl1 ehe following is 11 specifieabion.

The iuvention relates 130 improvemeuts in oorkiug-machines in whieh the cork is compressed automatioally; und the objeets of 1ny improvements am, firsb, 110 av0id lshe dropping of the cork-clusts mixed With the liquid wherein oho cork is softeued into the bottle; second, t0 cloau the bottom 0f fil1e cork f1on1 such o1 sinuilar impurilzies before entering into the bottle-ncck; und, third, to compress the cork f10n1 equidistant points around its axis. I attain these objeets by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanyiug drawings, in whicl1 Figurel is a sido elevatiou of 21 eorkingmachine provided w ith m.y improvemiznts. Fig. 2 is 21 frontelevation thereof, und Fig. 3 a vertical section. Fig. 4 is a. horizontal section at oho line AB, Fig. l. Fig. 5 is ahori zont-al section als oho 1ine O D, Fig. 2. Fig. 6 sl1ows tl1e same seqtion after c1osing the corkcompressor. Fig. 7 is a horizontal section ab t-l1e line E F, Fig. 3. Figs. 8 130 11 are detailed views.

Simi1arletters refer 130 similar parts through oub oho several views. 1

The slicling pieoe b, bearing the pusher a, is lowered by prgssing down ehe weightslever c. The erooked slit d 0f the slide-piece, in which the roller e is guided, transfers the verlsical motiou 0f the slide-piece 130 a horizontal one of tl1e oompressor-framef, wherein the roller e is resting. The eompressor-jaw i is fastened 130 the framef, while the jaw e" slides in suitable guides 011 the base-plate g, whereto the third jaw, z', is fixed. A notch, wherein.the jaw i engages, is provide in tl1e jaw 1', thus causiug both the movable jaws to approach eacl1 other und t0 the fixed jaw 1"" when the jaw 11 is advanced. The cork pla.ced between suchjaws is thereby compressetl from tl1ree equully-disba-utpoints. 'lhe lower part of the sliepiece ?2 is provided with two paral- 101 orooked guides, 71, whe1ein eugages 21 roller, 7c, pivoted by the holt m t0 the f1ame Z 0f Ehe machine. Thus the downward motion 0f the slide-piece b causes simultaneously an osclllabion, which, as the piece b slides elosely 1'11- side a slii: 0f the plate g, is communicated to such plate, whieh, resting loosely 011 the frame Z, oscillates wheu tl1e slide-piece b 1s lowered 01 raised. 'Iwo screw-bolts, n, passing through slits 0 0f the plate g, connect the la'ter so t-he p'latform p 0f the frame 01 stand I. 'lhe platform p bears tl1e m0uthpieoe 1', whereto the bottlo-mouth 1's pressed by means 0f the weight-lever q und. bottlestand t, aud, besides, the mouth-piece r, t-he brush s, or 21 similar cleunsing device, over which the cork compressecl by tl1e jaws z 1" z is passed before being pushed by the piston a through the mouth-piece r into the bottleneok. 'lhe cork, beiug compressed sideward from the bottle-necl; und cleaued ab tl1e bot 110m while passing the brush s, enters. iuto the bottle entirely cleau und without i11brodueing impurities into the liquid coutainecl in such bottle.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I desire to claim und secure by Letters Patent is l. In 21 maohine for corking bottzles, tl1e eomloiuation of the vertically-slicling piece b, provided wit;h 21 erooked slit, (Z, tl1e compressor-frame f, adapted o0 slide horizonbally und. provided with roller e, the j21w z, secured 110 frame f, the base-plate g, provided Willi]. the fixed jaw z' a.nd ehe sliding jaw z", working 011 guides formed upon ohe surface of platze g, so that; the horizontal movemeut of framef causes tl1e j aws to compress Ehe cork, subsbantially as described and shown.

2. In 21 machine f0r corking botbles, the combination 0f ehe vertieally-sliding pieee b provided with a crooked slib, d, und wit-h oho crooked guides h, the roller k, pivoted 130 the frame 0f the maehine,thebasoplate g, receivfing an oscillating movement from the guides h, Ehe plalaform p, having moubh-piece 1 therein, und. the brush s, for cleauing l3he bobtom 0f tl1e cork, substantially as shown und deseribed.

8. In 21 maeh'1ne for corking bottles, tl1e IOO combination 0f the pushcr a, t11e vertica llysliding piece b, having crooked s1it d an(1 crooked guides h, the weight-lever c, the e011'1- pressor-framef, adapted to slide horizontally my invention I'have signed my name, in pres- 5 and provided with roher e, the jaw i, secured ence of .two witnesses, this 16th day of Sep- 1 t0 framef, the base-plate g, oscillated by the tember, 1884.

guides h and provided with the fixed jajw JOHANN JACOB HERMANN SOHUL'IZ. 13, the sliding jaw 2", the 101161 k, pivoted to Witnesses: the frame of the machine, the platform p, DIEDR ICH PETERSEN,

s, subs1cantially as described and shown, and for the purposeset forth.

In testimony thab I laim the foregoing as 10 having mouth-piece 1 therein, und the brush EMIL HAASE.
